Needle point lace. Naaldkant.

Needle point lace comes in many forms. I admire the work by Totusmel on her blog Needle tatting and other nonsense, She calls it Armenian lace, On the internet you can find it also under Oya, needle point lace and Romanian needle point. There may be more names. The techniques differ slightly. I thought I have a try. It is not easy (as tatting wasn't in the beginning!). Above you see the work of a drunken lace maker LOL. As base I used the crochet tape that is common in Romanian lace. My next work (under) is getting better. I don't know how to add new thread in a way that it is invisible and I find if you take a long thread, the thread wears thin and gets damaged by the work you do. Couldn't find a solution for this problem.
